Looks to me like itīs gonna be a perfect toy for recording drums in your bedroom....

I am also waiting for this. I talked to Behringer a couple of days ago and the latest information they have on release date in the US is Spring 2012. I've been eying the Mackie 1640i for a while, but the Behringer offers so much more option (less the extra 8 xlr in's).

That Mackie looks very interesting, Behringer better hurry.... I have a fever, and the only prescription is more drum recording!

Yeah I hear you... I've been tempted to get one for the longest time but have been holding off. The Mackie 1640i does have 8 extra xlr on the Behringer, but it's going to be at least double the price, and it also lacks the usb stick recording option....which is great for recording without having your laptop. One website I visited announced Feb 16th as a release date, but it could be b.s. info.

Now the big daddy of them all is certainly the Allen & Heath Zed R-16 !!...if you have 2000 bucks just laying there...
